I mailed mine the same day as you, but I haven't even gotten a status checker email yet. I wonder at what point I should email them and make sure they've gotten my application. (Though their website is pretty clear about not getting updates through email or phone calls.)

My status says "Your JD application was processed on November 11, 2011 and is currently being considered for Early Decision " Is being considered different from what those of you who are saying you are complete? Mine has never said "complete".

Deans Sager and Ingram were just at my school. They said they were probably going to get decisions to ED applicants before winter break. Unfortunately, they also mentioned that their applications have increased by 15% or something so far this year.

hopefully the increase came from applicants who didn't stand a chance to begin with .... I know it's mean but hey can you blame me?

That's hard to believe but it might have more to do with UT's rise to the T14 than it does as a broader reflection of this year's applicant pool

Dean Sager explicitly said that it had to do with the rise in the USNWR ranking.

Also, the theory is that LSAT numbers are down this cycle because people have finally realized that lots of students are graduating law school unemployed.

But it's widely known that Texas is one of the few places that hasn't been that badly hit by the recession, and UT graduates tend to get jobs in Texas, so perhaps a greater awareness of the unemployment situation is helping UT. I know that's half of the reason I applied.

It blows my mind that a move 1 spot in the rankings makes that big of a difference to some people.
